Former Hear’Say star Myleene Klass has confirmed that she won’t be taking part in the group’s upcoming reunion shows.
Last week, the Pure And Simple chart-toppers – who were put together on the groundbreaking reality show Popstars – teased that they were getting back together to commemorate 25 years since the release of their debut album.
However, fans quickly spotted that Myleene appeared not to be part of the plans, which she addressed during Monday’s edition of Loose Women.
“They were really sweet and they did include me in the discussions,” she enthused. “But it’s not something I can commit to at the moment, I just really can’t.
“I know they are still figuring out a lot of the moving parts of it and until they do that, there’s nothing set in stone. For me, I’m just super busy. I’m committed to [Loose Women]. I’ve got my work.”
Myleene added that she “loves” her former bandmates “dearly”, and would “never say never” to doing something with them in the future.

“It was an incredibly important time in my life. It taught me so much,” she added of her Hear’Say days.
In 2021, Myleene ruled out reforming with Hear’Say for the band’s 20th anniversary, claiming: “They asked me. I told them, ‘Go forth, with my blessing’.”
The rest of the group also shared a second teaser on Instagram on Tuesday afternoon.
Besides Myleene, Hear’Say were made up of Kym Marsh, Suzanne Shaw, Noel Sullivan and Danny Foster.
After being put together as part of the 2001 fly-on-the-wall series Popstars, they released two albums as a five-piece, which spawned the number one hits Pure And Simple and The Way To Your Love.
Kym left the band in 2002, and was replaced briefly by Johnny Shentall, before the group eventually went their separate ways later that year.
Besides Hear’Say, Popstars also led to the formation of the band Liberty X, while a second season, subtitled The Rivals, aired in 2002, chronicling the rise of Girls Aloud.
